A circuit for performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with minimum number of clock cycles and minimum complexity. One-dimensional FFT of size N=N 0 ×N 1 × . . . ×N M−1 , N m m=0, 1, . . . , M−1, positive numbers, is computed recursively, through a sequence of two-dimensional row-column transform computations of sizes, N 0 ×N 1 , (N 0 ×N 1 )×N 2 , (N 0 ×N 1 ×N 2 )×N 3 , . . . , (N 0 ×N 1 × . . . ×N M−2 )×N M−1 with twiddle factors. The complexity of the circuit is reduced by elimination of butterfly computation structure and adaptation of transposeless 2-D transform architecture.
